Add in the fact that the march was going past the Tory Central Office and the events become a racing certainty. So why were the police unprepared? I suppose it's arguable that they were so knocked back by the events at the G20, they've lost their nerve or that they misjudged it but I suspect the explanation is more cynical. With all the noise coming from the government about cutting police numbers and privileges, what better way to make their point about how undesirable this is seen by the police than to let a demo get out of control by inaequate numbers.Richard Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225331967587897653noreply@blogger.com
